Marcia Arcade – Brazilian driver who was the first
woman to race in Formula Truck, in 1998. Her truck was a Scania, and she was

1999. In 2001, she entered three more races, in a Ford truck, but again, did
not challenge for wins. She was nicknamed “Furaçao”, or “Hurricane”.

European championships in the mid-1990s. Her first major season was 1994, and
she was fifth in the Truck class. In 1995, driving a Mercedes, she finished
eighth in the championship. In 1996, she ran her own racing team, with Sisu trucks
and Minna Kuoppala as driver, with some success. Further details about
Reinhilde’s career are proving hard to find. She may have also been involved in
the haulage trade.

Jennifer Janiec – French driver who raced trucks in
Europe between 2009 and 2011. In 2009 and 2010, she finished tenth in the French

one of her first major truck races, in 2008. She was 17th overall at
Barcelona. In 2012, she was down as a reserve driver for the Le Mans truck
race, but it is unclear whether she got to drive. She had raced at the event
the year before. Previously, she raced single-seaters and small sportscars in
France, including four seasons of Formula Renault, from 2007. She is from a
family of truck racers, and her brother, Jean-Pierre, remains active in the
sport.

racing in the 1990s. She raced in the European championships between 1994 and
1998. Her first season gave her eighth in the SuperTruck class. In 1995, she
was ninth in the Super-Truck class. In 1996, she drove for Reinhilde Braun’s
Mercedes team, finishing sixth in the Truck class. After a lull in competition, she was seventh in
the Truck class in 1998. In 1993, she had won her class in the British
championship, and was fourth in class B in the European series. Her trucks were
usually Finnish-built Sisus. Earlier in her career, she raced single-seaters in
Finland. In 1989, she was fifth in the Finnish Formula Ford 1600 championship.
Even earlier, she competed in karting, against Mika Häkkinen and Taru Rinne.

front-runners, and finished in 16th place, with four points.
Previously, she competed in eventing on her horse. She did another season in the French championship in 2016, in the same truck. Her final position was fourteenth, having scored points in two of her three races.

Aline Rambeau – French driver who raced trucks in the
2000s. In 2005, she took part in the European championship, in the Supertruck
class, driving a MAN race truck. She was relatively competitive, and a regular
visitor to the top ten. The best moment of her season was a win in the 24 Hours
of Le Mans Camions. Her final championship position is not currently
forthcoming. Her first season of truck racing seems to have been in 2002, when
she also raced a MAN in the Coupe de France, and was third in the championship.
As well as racing trucks on circuits, she also took part in rally raids, in the
Truck class. She entered the 2004 Dakar in a Mercedes, and also did some other
cross-country rallies. Her co-driver was Jo Adua.

team. Although she was not one of the front-runners in the championship, she

information is proving hard to track down.
